Romney jumped out to the 2-point lead on Friday and hasn't looked back, as it has held steady since. Romney's stable advantage is significant, because today's results reflect the average of polling from last Monday to yesterday. So, even with Gallup dropping some of the more favorable post-debate polling days from their seven-day average, Romney continues to sustain his lead.

Obama continues to lead 48-46 among registered voters.

Meanwhile, Obama's approval rating held at 48 percent for the third consecutive day, a number that should be concerning for the president. That number is below the "safe" threshold for an incumbent's re-election. His disapproval rating also stood firm at 47 percent, giving him an almost even 48-47 approval-to-disapproval split.
